Epic Games, the developer behind the online phenomenon Fortnite and creator of the Unreal Engine, has acquired Bandcamp. The announcement was made on“I’m excited to announce that Bandcamp is joining Epic Games, who you may know as the makers of Fortnite and Unreal Engine, and champions for a fair and open Internet,” said Diamond. The executive continues by reassuring creators and consumers of the platform saying “Bandcamp will keep operating as a standalone marketplace and music community.
Diamond also explains that despite multiple companies speaking with him about acquiring Bandcamp in the past, Bandcamp ended up going with Epic. “…we’re working with Epic to expand internationally and push development forward across Bandcamp,” mentioning “album pages, mobile apps, merch tools, payment system, and search and discovery features.” Diamond claims that partnering up with Epic will “provide the resources to bring a lot more benefit to the artists, labels, and fans who use the site.
Epic Games also made a statement regarding the acquisition which mentions a lot of similar things as Diamond did on the Bandcamp Blog, but the company does note that its goal with Bandcamp is “building the most artist friendly platform that enables creators to keep the majority of their hard-earned money.
